In the following days, news of aliens on the Blue Star began to spread from Wuming City.
However, no one revealed the specific location of the aliens.
Within a week, as personnel exchanged supplies with Wuming City, various versions of news about the aliens spread outwards at an extremely fast pace.
Lin Yu had people constantly observing the flow of information. If any news that was too exaggerated, or even suggested that aliens threatened humanity's fate, was spread, Wuming City would suppress it immediately.
However, the fact that aliens attracted zombies was not publicized externally.
Otherwise, following this important clue, many ability user teams would surely be able to track their way to the vicinity of Luocheng.
A considerable number of zombies were still gathered there.
Lin Yu and his team had investigated the vicinity of Luocheng. Fortunately, after the number of zombies reached a certain point, it tended to stabilize.
The number of zombies did not increase indefinitely.
Lu Heng had been shuttling between his space and the research center of Wuming City during this period.
With Evan's addition, the technology of Wuming City was developing rapidly.
The scientists also learned a lot of knowledge from Evan.
They were constantly converting and applying Blue Star technology with alien civilizations.
It was just that the usable materials were limited, and Lu Heng could not take out too many items from Senal Star.
If these items accumulated, they would attract zombies to Wuming City.
For Wuming City to develop better and apply alien technology on the Blue Star, the first thing to do was to exterminate all the zombies in the world.
"Our current manpower for killing zombies outside is limited. Although we have over a hundred thousand people available, the number of zombies is simply too great."
Lin Yu sat opposite Lu Heng. He had just reported the progress of merging surrounding cities to Lu Heng.
Now, the two of them were discussing future development.
"Yes, we definitely cannot rely on ourselves alone. Our country's original population alone is over a billion. More than ninety percent of humans have become zombies. Killing zombies is still a long and arduous task."
"But technological development also needs to proceed simultaneously. However, zombies are easily attracted by Senal people and their items. This problem also needs to be understood."
"I'll go to their space. It's been a while since we last contacted them."
Lu Heng asked Lin Yu to return the alien communicator.
To enter the aliens' space, this was still necessary.
After Bora left last time, for some reason, even communication was cut off.
The communicator had not received any messages from Bora and the others since.
"Lu Ge, I have a feeling that there is a connection between the aliens and the zombies. Perhaps humans becoming zombies is also because the aliens brought some virus to the Blue Star."
Lu Heng put away the communicator and looked at Lin Yu. "Your guess is not without reason. The timing of humans turning into zombies and the appearance of aliens is too coincidental."
If he said there was no connection between them, Lu Heng would not believe it.
But what exactly was the reason, no one could say for sure now.
"Lu Ge, that projection device you gave me last time, did you take it back?"
"No, can't find it?"
"Yes."
"Did you give it to Chen Dong and the others?"
"No, that thing seems to be just an image recording device. It's not very useful to them for now."
Lin Yu didn't say that only the giant rat, Little Six, could open it. No matter who got it, it would just be a metal sphere.
"Then you look again. Did you forget where you put it? No one else can use it even if they get it, so it's fine."
Besides, the metal sphere was not large, so it would not attract zombies even if it was placed outside, unless one stood next to the zombies with the sphere.
"Okay, then I'll look again."
In fact, Lin Yu couldn't open it himself with that thing, but since it was an alien item, it wouldn't be good to lose it.
"Recently, has your father been quiet? I haven't seen him come to Wuming City to cause trouble for you again."
Although Lu Heng shuttled between his space and the research center every day, he still paid attention to the situation in the city from time to time, especially Lin Yu.
"No, he hasn't been idle. People below say he often appears in several nearby bases."
"What? Has he found new partners?"
"Perhaps. He wants too much, and I can't give it to him."
Lin Yu spread his arms, forming a large character, and lay on the sofa, looking at the blue sky outside the window.
"He used to live quite comfortably. Of course, after Dragon City was incorporated by us, his life became a bit difficult."
"But he doesn't have to go out and kill zombies. He's being fed for free every day, so what else could he be dissatisfied with?"
Lin Yu looked at a cloud floating in the sky. The air was better now. Not only was the daylight sufficient throughout the day, but the starry sky could also be seen at night.
If one ignored the perilous environment outside the city, this air quality was something people had always yearned for.
"Oh, let's not talk about him. I've had some mutated animals captured and raised in the city. These animals have low mutation levels, and they are previously edible varieties. I'm thinking of domesticating them as a future source of meat for humans."
"Yes, that's fine, but you need to pay attention to the levels of these mutated animals. Don't let them be too high."
Those engaged in ordinary labor in Wuming City were generally the old and weak in the base, ordinary people who could not become ability users.
If the mutated animals captured were of too high a level, these people would not be able to handle them.
"I've considered that. Those ordinary people should still be arranged to do some agricultural work. For those who raise animals, find some with low levels from the merged bases."
This arrangement would also be a form of appeasement for the survivors from the previously incorporated bases.
Having a dedicated job would mean they wouldn't have to face dangerous zombies outside, and everyone would surely sign up enthusiastically.
......
After resting for a night, Lu Heng left Wuming City.
Riding on the Eagle-beaked Beast, he first surveyed the situation around Wuming City.
Indeed, many bases and shelters had been built in the vicinity.
They were all transformed from abandoned towns not far from Wuming City.
Lu Heng estimated that building connecting high bridges would also consume a lot of resources.
Moreover, it was time-consuming and labor-intensive. It was estimated that it would not be completed before winter.
Patting the back of the Eagle-beaked Beast, Lu Heng gradually moved away from Wuming City and flew towards Luocheng.
What he did not see was that on the city wall of a base, a man wearing glasses was looking up at Lu Heng in the sky.
Lu Heng's Eagle-beaked Beast was now recognized by everyone in the vicinity.
With its massive size, no mutated animal in the apocalypse could compare to it.
The man with glasses stared intently in the direction Lu Heng had left, lost in thought.
"What did he go to do?"
